DESCRIPTION:As the US and Israel bomb Iranian cities in an unprovoked and criminal war, 
 we screen Persepolis.\n\nThis film comes from a perspective of opposing 
 BOTH the horrific rule of the US-backed Shah of Iran, AND the rule of the 
 repressive Islamic Republic, which just last month murdered thousands of 
 protesters. This understanding and perspective is urgently needed now in 
 relation to the US’s unjust attack on Iran.\n\nFrom the 1953 CIA coup, to 
 the Shah, to the Islamic fundamentalist theocracy, this film movingly 
 portrays the resistance and lives of the Iranian people through the 
 beautifully animated film of the life of Marjane Satrapi, based on her 
 graphic novel.            \n\nIn 1970s Iran, Marjane 'Marji' Satrapi 
 watches events through her young eyes and her family of a long dream being 
 fulfilled of the hated Shah's defeat in the Iranian Revolution of 
 1979.\n\nBut as she grows up, she witnesses first hand how the new Iran, 
 now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has become a repressive tyranny on 
 its own.\n\nOur screening is dedicated to the people of Iran.\n\nWatch the 
 trailer here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PXHeKuBzPY&t=2s\n
